What does UNMAN mean in Scrabble?
verb
literary
To cause someone to lose courage, self-control, or a sense of manly resolve.
Writers used to unman a character by stripping away the composure or bravery expected of a man, often at a moment of shock, grief, or fear. The verb pairs an old causative sense of un- with man in its sense of manly fortitude rather than the noun for a person. It appears mostly in older fiction and poetry describing a hero shaken by loss or dread, and modern writing rarely reaches for unman outside a deliberately literary tone.
How UNMAN is used
Literary and somewhat dated; a character is unmanned by grief, fear, or a sudden shock rather than by an ordinary disappointment.
